Beauty in Japan: Yaeba - crooked teeth

I read Yumi's blog post about how in Japan, crooked teeth are considered cute and beautiful, so I decidede to read a bit more about it. Apparantly some people pay a lot of money to get their straight teeth fixed into the popular crooked look, called Yaeba. Since it looks more childish than straight teeth, it's considered cute - and everyone knows cute is always in, in Japan!

I find it funny how here in the west people undergo plastic surgery to get as close to perfection as possible, whereas in Japan, they embrace imperfection. I think it's good that everything doesn't have to be perfect, and it's true that crooked teeth sometimes give character. :) Although I wouldn't exactly pay money to pursue imperfection...
